...they now have a matching die for that beautiful flower stamp. Yikes, it's pricey, but thought I'd still share in case you're like me and consider fussy cutting a form of torture! Here it is.And this is the stamp set it coordinates with, in case you need to see it to jog your memory.  |

Grrr... don’t get me started on the kit add-ons! It irritates me to no end that you have to pay another shipping fee to buy things that go with the kits. I just emailed their customer service for the jillionth time about it. Really, is it that hard to put a die (that I’m buying at a premium price) into the box before you ship it? Every other company seems to manage it.
Lol, sorry to vent all over your excitement about the matching die! I want the one that goes with the July August kit, too. Maybe they’ll still have some next time I place a regular order.
I see that the August die isn’t available yet. Still, I wish you could buy it all at once.

I wondered if they're having production delays because surely they'd sell a ton more of these if you could buy them right away with the kit. II've noticed a few like this lately where the dies seemed to come out a few months after the kit.
I do adore that giant floral stamp! I've been able to convince my ScanNCut to fussy cut it for me reasonably reliably.

I have my eye on that stamp. Pretty sure it will come home to me at some point because I love it. I do want to check out the price on the die, but I bet it is going to be expensive. I’m kind of on the fence about the die.

I've never subscribed to the kit, only bought it as a one-off but I can imagine that would be annoying! |

I've been able to convince my ScanNCut to fussy cut it for me reasonably reliably. I don't think it's a production delay. I believe people have been requesting dies to specific stamp sets that didn't have them when released. I saw a few people comment that they would like matching dies on an Instagram post for the Mandy's Flowers cards kit and SSS responded and said they would make them available for preorder. Some other people (myself included) also requested dies for this stamp set. I'm thinking they just didn't realize how popular the stamp sets would be? The Beautiful Flowers one has sold out at least 3 times I believe. I wonder if they haven't wanted to make matching die sets because they don't want their kit subscribers to feel like they have to spend more money on top of their subscription. |

I’m kind of on the fence about the die. The die alone is $34.99 and the stamp set is $24.99. If you buy the bundle, it's only $55, which means you save $5. If you're in no particular hurry for the set, SSS always does 30% off their brand after Thanksgiving and it's a great time to stock up. |

I thought the pattern paper was beautiful and wanted to get more but for 12 6x6 sheets it was $10.99. A little too rich for my blood but I keep thinking "they are so beautiful" . Totally still on my wish list.
Simon Says Stamp usually have a 25% off their products 3-4 times a year so if you can wait, I would get the die for the stamp then. Though $35 US?
It sucks that our Canadian dollar is so bad that the SSS kits are costing me $50 Canadian.

Yikes that die set is expensive (although I do realise the main stamp is pretty large). Thank goodness for my Cameo and Pixscan mat otherwise I'd go broke buying dies for everything.
